His observations, which he reported to the Royal Society of London, are among the first descriptions of microbes(微生物)．Leeuwenhoek discovered an entire universe invisible to the human eye.He found different microbes in samples of pond water, rainwater, and human blood.He gave the first description of red blood cells, observed plant tissue，examined muscle，and investigated the life cycle of insects.
